Boras has a history of waiting until the last minute before his clients sign. His patience typically pays off. However, this year has a different feel. Teams are showing they can be just as patient as Boras. Some are claiming collusion, others are saying it’s just the growing wisdom of MLB teams who now understand the dangers of signing elite athletes to long term contracts.

Unsigned free agents will be able to prepare for the season at a spring training camp set up by the MLB Players Association. The camp will be held at IMG Academy in Bradenton Florida.

According to E-mail sent to agents, training camp for unsigned free agents will be led by former #Astros manager Bo Porter. Players’ personal trainers will not be permitted. Travel and housing arranged by union. Players given daily per diem. General liability insurance provided.

Scott Boras has no plans to send his clients to a proposed free agent camp. "Boras Corp has two sport fitness institutes with diamonds, cages and weight facilities,'' he said. "We have resources and staffing to make sure our players are prepared when they reach agreements.''
